This disclosure describes a system for automatically updating item image information stored in an item images data store and used for processing captured images to identify items represented in those images. In one implementation, once an identity of an item has been verified, captured images of that item are associated with the item and stored in the item images data store. As a result, the item images data store is updated each time an image of the item is captured and the identity of the item is verified.

This disclosure describes a system for determining an estimated user departure time from a materials handling facility. For example, a user may enter a materials handling facility to pick one or more items from the materials handling facility. Those items may be provided to an agent for processing, such as packing, while the user picks other items within the materials handling facility. To ensure that the items are processed in a timely manner and made available to the user when the user is ready to depart from the materials handling facility, the implementations discussed determine an anticipated user departure time and compare that time with an estimated processing time needed to process the items.
